  1. Suzie Bates has been brilliant.

    She is so powerful and just dismissive.

  2. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    All under control, seemingly. They have loads of wickets in hand, nine of them.

  3. Invincibles 70-1

    Need 43 from 50 balls

    Nat Sciver knows she needs wickets, and quite a few of them.

    She turns back to Australia leggie Alana King but she can't find the breakthrough.

    She only goes for a single, but there is no chance Rockets can limit the runs enough to win this game.

    Maybe another hat-trick from King will turn things around from here.

  5. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    What more can you say about her? So young, so energetic, Capsey.

  6. Invincibles 69-1

    Target 113

    I am loving this innings from Alice Capsey.

    She guides Katherine Brunt beautifully away for four, and gets a bouncer in return.

    But despite Brunt being 19 years her senior she just stands there, resting on her bat, with a little smirk on her face.

    She then ramps away for a single. Brunt will not like that.

  7. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    It's looking easy now. It's difficult to see how this game will alter its direction.

  8. 6 runs

    Invincibles 62-1

    Target 113

    Suzie Bates is so good to watch.

    She powers Bryony Smith down the ground for her second six before a lovely bit of touch brings her two.

    Invincibles are cruising this at the moment. They need 51 more to win.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio

    I think the Trent Rockets just didn't bat well enough, they weren't quite aggressive.

    There's a fine line between aggressive and reckless, they were neither.

  10. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    A fine strike of the ball! That's cleared by some distance, what a talent, Capsey.

    The look on her face after that...

  11. 6 runs

    Invincibles 48-1

    Target 113

    Alice Capsey!

    She takes a step down the pitch and whacks England team-mate Sarah Glenn back over her head for six more.

    Capsey loves this tournament.

  12. Issy Wong
    Birmingham Phoenix & England bowler on BBC Radio

    Trademark fearlessness from Alice Capsey there. That's a great shot.

  13. Invincibles 40-1

    Target 113

    Does anything phase Alice Capsey?

    She gets down low and reverse sweeps Alana King away to the boundary.

    The 18-year-old always seems so calm.

  14. Kevin Howells
    BBC Radio commentator

    Terrific bowler, Alana King. We all know what she did a couple of games ago.

  15. Right, this could be the game.

    Australia leg-spinner Alana King is into the attack.

    She took a hat-trick in Rockets' first game against Manchester Originals on Saturday.

  17. This is why Katherine Brunt is so angry...

  18. Alison Mitchell
    BBC Radio commentator

    That bouncer was almost a revenge ball from Brunt.

  19. Invincibles 33-1

    Target 113

    Oh, Katherine Brunt's bad mood notches up another step as a misfield allows Suzie Bates to pick up four.

    A bouncer, almost inevitably, follows.

    That's the powerplay over. Invincibles' just for me.

  20. Issy Wong
    Birmingham Phoenix & England bowler on BBC Radio

    She was rather cramped for room there, Bates. She'd have been a big wicket.
